Welcome to the Hero Arts 2021 Catalog Release Blog Hop!
I am so, so excited about the latest products from Hero Arts!!! I opened up the box and was overwhelmed with all the product I wanted to use for cards! I am using 10 new products for my cards today but please be sure to leave me a comment here or on YouTube with what other new Hero Arts 2021 Catalog Release products you'd like to see in future videos!
I created five spring-themed cards today. With these frigid temps that so many of us have right now, it has me longing for springtime, flowers, fresh cut grass, and hanging out in our backyard. I have big goals of planting trees, doing some landscaping, and adding an outdoor dining set to our yard this spring/summer! I can almost imagine it with these fresh and fun cards today!

Your cards really do give me a spring vibe. I live in Southern Ontario, Canada where we have our usual vast amount of snow and freezing temps... so I always start to get the itch for Spring to get here. I love your cards Nichol because they are so super colourful. You did a great job as always. Thank you for the inspiration! ❤️
